JUST IN: VIDEO—Tension Erupts at Greater Heights Interhouse Sports as Dispute Over Relay Result Sparks Brief Clashq

By Victor Olubiye


A brief disturbance broke out on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, during the first interhouse sports competition of Greater Heights Model School, Koboro, along Onigbedu Road, Itori, in Ewekoro Local Government Area of Ogun State, following a disagreement over the outcome of the male relay race.


The incident involved students and supporters of Owu Community Comprehensive High School (OCCHS) and Premier Comprehensive College, who had finished first and second respectively in the race.


Eyewitness accounts indicated that tensions escalated shortly after the announcement of results, with members of Premier Comprehensive College contesting the decision of the referee. The school alleged that the ruling—which placed them second—was based on claims that they crossed their lane during the race.


However, the referee maintained that Premier Comprehensive College was at fault, stating that officials had earlier warned contestants against lane violations.


According to him, concerns had also been raised before the race about the suitability of the field.


“I had informed the organizers that the field may not be sufficient and also warned the athletes not to cross their lanes, but both teams failed to adhere strictly to the instruction,” he said.


Despite the disagreement, the situation was later brought under control by officials and organizers at the venue, preventing further escalation.


Organizers confirmed that the matter had been resolved, with the initial result upheld—Owu Community Comprehensive High School retaining first position, while Premier Comprehensive College was placed second.


The event, which marked the maiden edition of the school’s interhouse sports, continued after calm was restored.


A video of the incident, recorded at the scene, has surfaced and is available on The Creativity Site’s Facebook page.


As of the time of filing this report, no injuries were officially reported, and both schools had resumed normal activities following the competition.

It is fast becoming a serious public health threat. From classrooms to crowded streets, its impact is quietly intensifying. In this exclusive feature, aspiring surgeon Awe Deborah offers a rare medical perspective, warning that what many Nigerians dismiss as “normal heat” could have serious—even life-threatening—consequences. For many Nigerians, the scorching sun has become an everyday struggle—endured, joked about, and often dismissed as just another part of life. According to the Nigerian Meteorological Agency (NiMet), several parts of the country have recorded temperatures above 40°C in recent heatwave periods. But for Awe Deborah, the reality is far more alarming. 40°C temperature in recent heatwave periods What people see as ordinary heat, I don’t see it that way anymore—it is something disastrou...

The Creativity Site @ 1: How Olubiye Victor Segun Turned a Classroom Assignment into a Grassroots Media Voice

-
Image
By Deborah Awe When a Mass Communication lecturer at Osun State Polytechnic, Iree, asked her students to create a Blogspot site using their phones, she probably did not imagine that one of those assignments would become a functioning digital newsroom one year later. For Olubiye Victor Segun (Oluvickky), CEO of Oluvickky Creative Place, that moment was not just an assignment; it was destiny. “I had always wanted to be a digital journalist and media publisher,” he recalls. “So when I created the Blogspot site, I saw it as a dream coming true.” From sharing posts in WhatsApp groups to migrating to WordPress on a friend’s advice, the platform evolved organically. Blogspot became the home of feature stories, while WordPress was dedicated to news reporting. With no budget for promotions, Olubiye relied on his professional social media management skills to push the platform’s Facebook page to over 3,000 followers and more than 2,000 weekly engagements. From Student Voice to Grassroots Journal...

Even when he offered Achebe $1 million dollars, Achebe felt insulted and rejected the money. 50 Cent later re-named his movie "All Things Fall Apart".
